Karelia says it rewrote the latest version of iMedia Browser from the ground up, teaming up with Boinx Software for the open-source framework at the program's core.

The application's new architecture means speed improvements for iMedia Browser. Users should find the application much more responsive when browsing through their media collections and bookmarks.

iMedia Browser 2 also adds a new searchable Flickr browser to its capabilities. That augments the application's ability to browse images in iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, and the Pictures folder. iMedia Browser continues to let you browse audio (in your iTunes, GarageBand, and Music folders) movies (in iTunes, iPhoto, and the Movies folder), and bookmarks (via Safari and Firefox).
